I have a real problem with Susan Patton. The misguided author of ‘Marry Smart‘ doesn’t seem to have a clue about modern women. She claims women should be seeking a husband in college. She claims this is the most important thing they should be engaged with. Patton is making a point from a way of life that is utterly foreign to my way of life. I came from a college that made a joke of the Mrs. degree, but here she says this is what any good lady should be looking for.
The idea that a woman should snatch up her man in college is stupid. There isn’t one person I knew from college that didn’t evolve into a better version of themselves after leaving college. See, the university world is nothing like the real world and judging a person by who they are there is akin to marrying someone you think you know and then finding they are a completely different person. This could be why 41% of first marriages end in divorce.
It isn’t for me to decide what people do with their lives, but I promote education above all. It is the right of every human being to be educated and if we waste the hours of that education on pursuing ‘the safety of a husband’ then you’re wasting more than your hours. You are wasting your brain.
